Question

In an ideal transformer, the turns ratio is Np/Ns=1/2N_p/N_s = 1/2. The ratio Vs:VpV_s:V_p is equal to (the symbols carry their usual meaning):

A

2:1

B

1:1

C

1:4

D

1:2

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the sources, in an ideal transformer, the ratio of the secondary voltage (VsV_s) to the primary voltage (VpV_p) is equal to the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary coil (NsN_s) to the number of turns in the primary coil (NpN_p), expressed as Vs/Vp=Ns/NpV_s/V_p = N_s/N_p . Given the turns ratio Np/Ns=1/2N_p/N_s = 1/2, it follows that Ns/Np=2/1N_s/N_p = 2/1. Therefore, the ratio Vs:VpV_s:V_p is 2:1.
